During the landing flare/touchdown at dusk, the airplane drifted to the left of the private, hard-surface, 2,600-foot runway. The airplane landed in the grass and soft terrain, the nose landing gear dug into the soft ground, and the airplane nosed-over, coming to rest inverted.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing flare/touchdown. A contributing factor was the soft terrain.
